SANITARY BUILDING INSPECTOR.
An ordinance was passed appointing a
Building Inspector, which was introduced
by the following preamble:
WHEREAS, The sanitary laws of the city of
Sacramento are paramount in importance to
those upon any other subject of municipal reg
ulation; and Whereas under existing circum
stances, there cannot be such an enforcement of
those laws as will fully accomplish the ends of
such municipal legislation, 1t is the judgment of
the Board of Trustees of the city of Sacramento
that an officer TO be known as the Sanitary and
Building Inspector, to cooperate with and act
under the immediate direction of the Health
Officer, would better facilitate the enforcement
of said sanitary law.
The ordinance appears in full in the ad-
vertising columns Of this issue.
